Warmth! Sun! Yes! At least it was a welcome sight at the prospect of having her skirt thaw out. Within moments of being set down on her feet she could feel the ice beginning to melt. Kay glanced to Kyber as he lay there passed out. She contemplated moving him, but the Zreame got into a defensive position and the creatures and water spewed forth from the cave, surrounding them. And then the weather changed too, electrifying the water. Kay kept by Kyber, pulling out her lightsaber from her satchel. She didn't ignite it though and didn't want to unless she had to, her other hand still holding her skirt up. Hopefully it'll dry soon.

 

[Sheila]

There was sun... there was some warmth and as she could feel Zreame going into a stance the small As-Aki could also feel her body pressed there. If there was more warmth from outside iit meant she should easily be able to fly around mostly. She wasn't certain of how it would completely be and this was the safest place in the galaxy while she had her toothpick sized saber in her hand and was climbing to get a better view of the area around her.

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame's stance indicated she wanted Tham to back off as she looked at him and then growled, a sound that seemed like the mic between a wolf and a tigers growl, as she had both swords drawn, Instinctively she was focusing the force inside her, strengthening her body, speed and movement. "Go into the water and eat some of your friends one seems to be deep fried so I'm sure he's tastier than us.." She then said as her eyes were fixed towards the fish creature before her.

Kyber is still passed out on the sand, not responding to anything going on around him just yet. Feel free to continue on my hearty companions as Kyber takes this necessary nap.

Tahm started walking up the hill, real slow-like. He was going to enjoy taking his time batting these "insects" aside and swallowing them whole. It seemed like one of his prey was just waiting to provide himself as a meal. He walked uphill towards [member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"] and [member="Lady Kay"], not seeing [member="Sheila"] and not worrying about [member="Kyber Salurra"]. A bolt of lightning snapped down dangerously close to Zreame's blades, turning a small patch of sand to glass. The pillar of lightning lasted for 3 seconds and then disappeared.

Tahm reared his head back, lurched his head forward, and shot his tongue out at Lady Kay, whom didn't appear to be armed except for a metal tube. Sea creatures began to poke their head out from the shoreline and started cheering in a ghastly, disturbing, discordant way.

(Side note: I'm not losing interest in this thread, I promise. My response time is really just a matter of coincidence. I'm going to complete this story arc. I'm sorry if I've been frustrating you.)

Kay was shocked, no pun intended, at Tahm seeming to be able to control the lightning. And he looked far bigger outside of the water than within. As he whipped his tongue out towards her, she leapt back and ignited her saber, the light blue blade giving off that tell-tale hum. "Fair warning, sir. None of us is willing to go down without a fight. Kindly leave us be, or we will have no choice but to defend ourselves." Any normal person would've hacked off Tahm's tongue, but Kay didn't like hurting others if she didn't have to.

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame however had no qualms of ending this beasts and slashed towards the tongue before she jumped back and sheathed her scimitar and pulled out one of her revolvers sending one slug spiraling towards Tahms but the act of jumping back and the recoil of the revolver caused Zreame to trip and roll backwards. "Leave us alone or I promise I'll go down swinging so hard you won't want to eat another Cernun for the remainder of your miserable life!" She then shouted as she stood back up, the anger palpable in her voice and the air around her.

Sheila could move again, her saber drawn and she was shooting up into the air while she flew around quickly looking at the situation. She saw the things they were talking about and she burned bright red buzzing around one of the beings head and stabbing at the more vulnerable spots with her blade while she increased her speed. Moving like a hummingbird that was able to get in and out between the swats and movements. She would soften them up and show what havving back up meant for a good thing.

 

[The Page Master]

Tahm would have loved the power to control lightning, but it was the attraction to metal that had called down the lightning near [member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"]'s swords. As the slug hit his skin, the flesh stretched like rubber and the slug rebounded in a wild direction.

His eyes narrowed when he spotted the blue lightsaber from [member="Lady Kay"]. However, he was soon distracted by an annoying red buzzer flying around his head. [member="Sheila"]'s sword stabbed into his fishy flesh, but his flesh wiggled under the blows and was unbroken. Tahm looked up at the proverbial fly and an evil grin crossed his face. Blowing a foul-smelling gust of breath up at the fairy, he would then try to snap his tongue out at her and try to ensnare her, then drag her into his belly.

If he was successful, hurrah! If he missed and she kept at it, he would keep trying. No matter what happened, he would stop moving and start to speak after a short while.

"Have you ever heard of the River King? They say he roams these parts of the wo---" Tahm stopped short and turned to look at the island and the ocean. He corrected himself, saying "---he roams around here looking for his next meal. And he has but one decree: ...GET IN MAH BELLY!!!"

And with that, (if Sheila was closest) he would attack Sheila again. If she was not nearby, he would shoot his tongue out at Zreame while moving forward. He cared not for the parley of Lady Kay.

Kay moved ahead and slashed at his tongue with her saber as another warning, missing it on purpose. "River King, Your Highness, we did not mean to trespass on your lands. We are lost and are searching for our way home. Let us continue on our way and you will not be harmed. But if you continue to attack us, I cannot guarantee your survival."

Landing on this unassuming yet suitable planet, the young count looked around as he had his ship repaired and refueled and paid for the storage as he wanted to explore the city a little.
Walking around with a sun umbrella in one hand, to keep from being sun burnt, and a cane in the other as he walked along the streets and saw a few delicious specimens of various races but he first went to finish buying the food reserves for his ship. As he thought what to do next he simply wondered around until he noticed a very out of place shop on one of the streets. With a raised eyebrow he walked towards it and knocked on the door before entering the door. The whey-faced man couldn't grow any paler as he suddenly fell forwards and was headed towards a curtain on the wall ahead of him. "What In the Galaxy!" He shouted as he fell through the curtains dropping his sun umbrella and left it behind him on the wall on the shop.
Once he had his feet planted on the ground he held onto his cane and looked around. "That... was different.... to say the least." He mumbled to him self as he looked around before the pale, well-groomed gentleman combed his shoulder long hair back with one hand to adjust his grooming, manners and proper appearance cost nothing after all. He looked human besides how pale he was and his pointed ears, which would suggest a selphi or at least a half-selphi. His eyes were strong and sharp with pale blue near transparent irises, a trait that easily intimidated the weak willed ones around him.

The way he had come through was hidden from sight. There lay a rocky path before him which curved to the right ever so slightly. What used to be sunny day was now gloomy and overcast, a direct result of an epic showdown happening somewhere else in this overworld. Should he walk long enough, he would find one desolate, dark cave in the rock wall of a mountain before him. Eventually, through the darkness, he would come upon a lighted room.

There was only one way forward and it was down.

 

[Narfi Hróðson]

Wiping away the dust and dirt off his coat he walked slowly and with purpose, he smiled at the gloomy and overcast weather outside once he eyed it. 'At least I won't have to worry about being sun burnt.' He thought as he walked down after seeing no way out behind him. A few thoughts on were he was and what he'd do to the individual or entity responsible for this crossed his mind but then he just sighed and kept walking reserved to make that decision once he actually found it/him/her not to mention what the purpose of this place was.
A slight 'clack' sound every time his cane hit the ground below him as he put it to use instead of actually just holding it like an idiot.

Sheila moved quickly, her form able to dart and dodge as she went back to be near Zreame and then more things were changing. She listened and heard Kay speaking, was looking down and landed on the demon woman's shoulders while and held her saber at the ready. Thoughts of what they could best do something to her while she motioned at motion of them. "Should we keep going?"

 

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame looked at Kay and then at Sheila as she growled a little. "I have a better idea... hows this for a warning!" She then shouted as she unloaded six more bullets aimed at Tahms face before the seventh and last in the chamber was released at the monster or supposed river king. Zreame always kept a trick or two up her sleeve and her first one was that the last shot of her revolvers were always Dragonsbreath rounds. "Let's see how this creep likes fire!" She shouted as she held onto her long-sword tightly and then holstered her revolver and drew the scimitar and went into an attack stance.

"Baaahh!" yelled Tahm as he felt his flesh bend and ripple. The bullets, just like the previous one, could not penetrate the skin. They rebounded down to the ground. They lay in a small circle at his feet. The giant geyser of sparkles and flame startled Tahm and he yelled even more as the flames singed his clothes, evaporated his soaked skin, and stung his flesh. Tahm was getting really angry and his skin turned red. He was about to step forward to charge when a pillar of lightning came crashing down in front of him, right in the middle of the circle of bullets.

He gasped with fear and took two steps back. Once the energy dissipated, he glared at the adventurers, pawed the ground with his right...foot...paw...thing and he charged at [member="Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha"] and @Sheila. He didn't like [member="Lady Kay"]'s magic stick, so he would save her for last.

[Zreame Ithrac Zeibitha]

Zreame gasped as the lightning struck and then Tahm charged. "Drek, Drek, Drek!" She began repeating as she ran to try and dodge the charging fish-thing as she ran/jumped to the right, almost landing in the shallow shore water in front of her as she landed.
That was is she had had enough and looked at the creature and growled almost like a tiger as she readied her swords and began to focus the force into her body, improving it's mobility, speed and jumping capabilities by an increment or two. Running fast towards Tahm she attempted to slide under him and slice at his knees.... did he even have knees? Worst case scenario she'd be caught by him or so she thought, best case there would be a lot of sand in crevices on her body and her clothes.

Sheila looked at the thing charging and she moved flying up and high as she held her saber and focused some energy on the force. Just like she had been shown. Size mattered not only what was in her mind and she was looking at this thing trying to hurt her friends... well two friends and a man in armor but he counted by proximity. She flung herself down to get behind and focused on him while she flew. Not to lift but to get inside and compress that soft squishy part of his brain with the force.

 

[Narfi Hróðson]

Upon reaching the pool he looked into it and looked around for a pebble to throw into the pool. He didn't really want to get wet but it seemed to be the only way out of the area he was in. "Hope this thing won't be too long... don't really want to end up drowning." He mumbled to himself as he got ready to dive into the pool and look around for a way out.

As Sheila and Zreame went after Tahm, Kay was growing more worried about the lightning. She kept her saber out and ignited. It appeared to be going after metal. She backed up to Kyber and dug her cloak out from her satchel. She layed it overtop of him, trying to hide the metal. Surely he'd wake up soon.

After that was finished she took a quick peek. It was a shame that they were stuck on a small island during that storm with no cover. Kay then turned her attention to the battle in front of her and guarded Kyber.
